	Paracrine signalling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paracrine signalling is a form of signalling in which the target cell is close to the signal releasing cell, and the signal chemical is broken down too quickly to be carried to other parts of the body.
		Examples of paracrine signalling include growth factor signalling and clotting factors.
		In mature organisms paracrine signalling functions include responses to allergens, repairs to damaged tissue, formation of scar tissue, and clotting.

		Endocrine signalling occurs when substances (hormones) are secreted by cells and travel in the bloodstream to distant target cells.
		Paracrine signalling molecules are rapidly internalized, destroyed or immobilized such that their effects can be limited to the local environment.
		Small hydrophobic signalling molecules (steroid and thyroid hormones) pass through the target cell membrane to bind to intracellular receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus.

		In the body, these endocrine signals are normally released into the blood, and include hormones such as the sex hormonesoestrogen and testosterone; insulin to regulate blood sugar; and adrenaline to ready an animal for fighting or running away.
		These signals are sent over very short distances and include growth factors, which are involved in wound healing and cell division, and neurotransmitters, which convey signals between nerve cells.
		Most signalling molecules are water-loving or hydrophilic, so they are unable to pass through the fatty cell membrane (which is why they need a receptor to pass on their message).

		Agouti signalling protein (Asip), a paracrine signalling factor, anatagonizes α-MSH activation of Mc1r and results in a switch to the production of red or yellow phaeomelanin.
		The pulsatile nature of Asip signaling through Mc1r produces the characteristic yellow and fl agouti banding pattern observed on most mammalian hair.
		The role of Asip binding to Mc1r in regulating this adaptation is unclear, however in teleoest fish at least, functional antagonism is provided by melanin concentrating hormone.

	Cell Signaling
		Paracrine signalling occurs when a growth factor is secreted by one cell and activates another cell.
		Cell signal molecules, or ligands, bind specifically to certain receptors on the cells surface or inside the cell.
		These domains are involved in the growth factor signaling pathway upstream from ras, a gene that is highly correlated with cancer.

		Carbohydrate portions of glycoproteins and glycolipids are found on the external surface of the cell membrane where they are important parts of receptor molecules.
		There are three families of cell surface receptors based on signal transduction mechnism.

		The actions of these signalling molecules may last only seconds or minutes, thus mediating short responses, which are terminated by degradation.
		In the past, cellular responses to particular stimuli were worked out by observation, using activators and inhibitors to mimic/disrupt ligand-activated pathways and also by reconstitution assays in which the conditions and concentrations of different components could be investigated in a cell-free environment.
		Several potential signalling genes (many of unknown function) have been identified as a consequence of the human genome sequencing project.

		Nitric oxide gas is produced by some cells and may be involved in either neurotransmission or a paracrine signal.
		Our understanding of the importance of these chemicals is rudimentary; thus far, they have been determined to be used in defense (e.g., initiating fever and inflammation), reproduction (secretion by cells of the placenta help induce labor) and some other functions.

		Recent experiments show that calcium signals can also propagate from one cell to another in a variety of cell populations; examples include hormone-evoked calcium oscillations in hepatocytes and glia-to-neuron signalling in response to neurotransmitters.
		To provide a mechanistic rationale for these observations, a mathematical model of intracellular calcium dynamics in hepatocytes is extended to the situation of coupled cells with gap junctional calcium diffusion.
		Gap junctional calcium fluxes are found effective in rapidly synchronizing calcium oscillations, and an experimentally testable estimate is given for the junctional coupling coefficient required.

		Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 3 (IGF-BP3) is a target gene of p53 and is able to inhibit mitogenic signalling by the insulin-like growth factor IGF-1.
		It might direct the assembly or disassembly of IKK complexes in response to signalling, and control deactivation of the kinase complex after stimulation.
		IkB-proteins (IkB-alpha, beta, and epsilon) are inhibitor proteins of NF-kB, which keep cytosolic NF-kB under tight control by binding to NF-kB and blocking its transport into the nucleus.

		So it's clear: During "that time of the month" women are feeling bad, so they pick a fight with their man or men in general to enhance his agressive smell, thereby cheering themselves up a little.
		So endocrine and paracrine signalling is important for smell and taste function and development.
		I don't know if any of the cited research addresses whether the signalling affects smell and taste function in the differentiated epithelia, or if the functions are limited to development, acting only on the stem cells.
